No further intelligence had reached .Governmen from Portugal when this Paper wa, put to Press. Some of the Foreign Papers say that BUONAPARTE is about to withdraw a considerable portion of the German troops from Spain. This we think highly pro:mble, 'for the system of desertion has recently grown.to such a height, that the French Generals are almost afraid of bringing them within reach of the enemy. A most extraordinary proof is given _in one of these Papers of the loss sustained by the German Regiments, which BUONAPARTE has forced into Spain to fight big battles. It .is stated in a Letter from Dusseldorf,' that two hundred men had arrived them, being the remains of twentylie4irnents, the•contingent of . Ow:Grand Duchy of Frankfort, which were sent into Spain two years ago. Many o: those unfortunate men doubtless lost their lives in the Murdtrous conflicts in which they were en gaged, but it is highly probable that the immense diMinution of their numbers was",owing principally to desertion: The Funds, we,.are glad to find, are rather better to!chay. Innumerable conjectures have been ad vanced as to the cause of the late extraordinary de pre.ssion, some of which are too absurd to deserve notice. The failure; which have recently taken , thp world afford a satisfactory s'tlutton for the. momentary depression of the funds. In the hour of alarm, every person liable to be called upon for the payment of con,iderable sums of money, .naturally became anxious to make provision for the whole Of, the demands for which he was so liable, and it is quite obvious that such a determination, acted, upon by such amultitude of individuals, must have produc..ed a very strong effect upon the money mark t. A long'article appeared in a Morning Paper of this diy, rehtive to the grounds of difference be tween Sir GEORGE BARLOW and Mr. PETRIE, and the purport of the Paper is to justify the condud of the latter, chiefly respeaing . the Mutiny in the Army at Madras." The article in question is stated to have been written by two senior Direaors of the East India Company. The subject is of so delicate a na ture, and requires so comprehensive and minute a knewledge'ot all the transactions to which it relates, that it would be the height of -presumption in us to enter into a discussion, or indeed to offer-any opinions., We may, however, be allowed to - say, that the ar. tide in the Morning Paper of this day contains some inconsistent and Some conjectural maters; . and though it. applies many harsh epithets to Sir GEORGE BARLOW, it gives no satisfaaory proofs of error in his condu&, except in reference to the Nabob of Oude, in which he fractured-the censure of the Di- re fors.' This, • however, was but a single fad, and though the Direaors might censure a particular mea sure, they may have abundant reasons for applov lag the general system of his conduit. The' two senior Direaors acknowledge that Sir Gaonoa BAR LOW manifested resolution and firmness in sup pressing the rebOlion, and they profess sincerely to disclaim " any imputation on his integrity, or (to &ay) that he has ailed otherwise than to the best of his judgment." Yet they apply, as is before ob sLrved, harsh epithets to his conduct, and accuse him of a want of conciliating, moderate, and persuasive measures, end of resorting to coercion and severity. They 'cannot however deny that the measures which he adopted did aOually suppress 'the mutiny ; and they only, reason upon supposition when they con tend that milder means might have accomplished she same end. They allege that - Sir GEORGE " neg . leaed 'rhe means to prevent the mutiny before its explosion" ; but as he succeeded in, suppressing it by resolution and firmness,. reasoning, .1 priori, as well as from 'the taa, those qtlalities appea r to be the most proper for such an oCcasion.-;-- The chief purport , of 'this Paper, as we have . observed, is to vindicate the character, of Mr. "PETRIC, who was the strenuou; advocate• for a mild, moderate, and conciliatory system ; and the authors stale, that Sir GEORGE BARLOW :." endea voured to irritate and to drive the remit.). next i n , consequence, and with were personal jnflitente than "himself, into open and hostile oppositions" Such a charge against a man who e integrity they have no. .is grossly, inconsistt nt., We have ne disposition to say. any thing to the prejudice of 'PriTKIE, but if he really possessed " more per .sonal influence" " than . Sir - GoriGE BARLOW, it is reasonable to suppose that- he bad in vain exerted . • that influence in recommending and enforcing the conciliatdry'sYstem for which he was so strenuous aii • ..„ advocate; - and hence it mirbe fairly inferred that the more resolute qaalities were required which were exerted by Sir , GEoit'oe limteow, ' and by which, he war) enabled finally to .succeed. For though Mr. PETRI'S had no power to cirry his. sys. i tern into execution • without the "concurrence- and' , sanction of the Governor, yet as he was " next iiii consequeace," and bad f‘ more personal influence;', .it cannot be doubted that he lad., • asfor as exitorta- . ..: tion and persuasive means could operate, deemed it an att of duty to use his utmost endeavours to sup press so very alarming a mutiny, to which she two Senior Direaors, indeed apply the name of rebellion. We have in the last observation followed the example of the two Directors, in reasoning. upon supposition; but as the fao is in our favour as to the actual sup- - pression of the mutiny, we nay be allowed to think; that in their zeal for Mr. Pertire they have,not suf ficiently estimated the merit of that systeni of mea sures by which it was at last accomplished. .Yesterd'ay, about twelve o'clozk, l,is MAJEST Y . arrived at . the Queen's Palace, from NV); • escorted by a party of Li d ht Horse, ..clicre tie Nirai, received by their Rod i 1 figi.iresses the Ddli.6 of YORK, LENT, and CUMBERLAND.

The latter laid befOre his MA JESTY the proceedings of wine Courts-Martial. Letters front Dunkirk of the ftith inst. have been received in towa. They state the ariival at 13oti-. lope of a vessel, with four passengers, all of whoin were arrested under the last Decree, and inime diately sent to prison. The Ship 4nd Captain have been released, in consequence of the Captain -being unacquainted with the existence of the Decree. By the last conveyance from India the-folloiting advices were received:— " BOMBAY, Aran. 14, 1810. ". Intelligence has been received from Ran goon, that a BurmAh army of thirty thousand men had invaded and taken the Island of Junk Ceylon, and had sent all the inhabitants in slavery to Pegu. The Siamese, It is said, were collecting a force for the purpose of attempting the re-capture of this possession. " The Portuguese ship Ovider Pereira, with 400 dollars in specie on board, it was said, had been cap tilted by - a French frigate near the mouth of the Straits of Maldcka." Yesterday a case came o n t o be' tried before the Commissioners at the Court of Requests, Guild hall, brought before them by Mr. Walker, a gentle.; man residing in Robert -street, Bloomsbury,' against the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng land, .for refusing to pay him 20s. for a supposed Bank of England note, which he bad received from a correspondent in Liverpool ; when it aPpgred by the testimony of a Clerk belonging to the Inspec tor's Office in the Bank, that the Note in question was a forged,one, in consequence of which the only remedy left for the complainant was to procure the payment of it froth the person from whom he had received it. We have Geer favoured with: the ffillc.)wing letter, vhich contains some particulars of the action be treen part of flomana's army under BallaSteros, and tie Prench division of Mm tier. is uieless to rt - nary, that the passage which mates that our army is equal iii number, to Masseaa', is cornipletely er oneous. " Ballasteros arrived long before his ,appointed time, and certainly engaged the enerny'bravely. He' was, in fad . , on the Lpoint of beit ei t hv . eloped by saperior force, whe Carrara,: th'sathe view, came to his relief, and the French immediately re tired to Lerena, ""heir. numbers were 'froth tive'to MOO men ; and had the Generals Balasterus and Carrara obeyed Romana's cirders to avoid an en gagement, and if attacked to move Gick and meet the central army, it -is certain that the enemy must have been destroyed, taken,or dispersed. BADAJOS, AUG. 24.—Lord Cochrane and his -brother set out for Lisbon from thiS place yesterday. On the 12th inst. a skirmish took place between two , divisions of Roinara,i army, and a hody of French, consisting of abont 5 or 6000 nien.:Ronnana hav ing received intelligence that Mortiet had ntirclied from -with .Seville, i 1,000 in en, and had- 'shaped his course towards RbtiquillO, marched from this city With-his army to Zifri.

All the enemy's forces in Andalusia db not exc,ed 30,000 ; .and by desertion, sickness,, and the sword, are daily decreasing. No reinforcements arrive from France, although the French Papers - tell. us that whole armies are pas4ing through Bayonne. " Blake has formed a resneaahle army in,Murcia, Alicant, &c. and has been. joined by reinforcements from Valentia.---AdVice was receited here yester day, that he had marched to Grenada, .which place the enemy, on his approach, evacuated. The siege of Tortosa is also said to be raised. " On Wednesday last came into this city two re giments of Portuguese cavalry, commanded by Bri gadier-General Madden ; they are fine men, but indifferently mounted. They are to reinforce Ro mana's army. • I .have perused letters - of ,the Bth, 6th, and 10th, from Madrid.

" Massena is out of favour, and some add dootted to. destruCtion. The people of Madrid omit no occasion of shewin - g their hatred to their• pre - lent rnlers. Of, the regiments raised ar.Seviile at the beginning of the RevolUtion, the 2d and . '3d swore allegiance to King Joseph r, and continued in ; his, pay.

A smait girl was amongst thelatter applicants; and on being informed she was too young f(.r the advertiser's service, she expressed great surprise,•and upbraided him for bad taste. This' girl raised a re poit among the gossips of the neigbourhood, that Mr. K. had advertised for a wife, which spread like lightning, and in half an hour after the house was beset by hundreds of women, ans.' it was found ne cessary, for the peace of the neighbourhood, to place a constable at the door, to keep the . multitude from carrying the joke too far. • A very daring robbejy took place yesterday morn ing in Fleet -street, nearly opppsite Fetter-lane, be tween the hours of elcven and t.Velve o'clock. Two villains' knocked down a little girl about 12 years of age, and took a bundle she had under h e r Arm .from her, with which they made . their escape. It appeared, by the little girl's account, the bundle contained a new coat, which her father had just completed, which she was taking home. NAVAL . NV WS. PLYMOUTH, Sigrt.
